Podman Desktop is a graphical tool for developing on containers and Kubernetes. Prior to 1.26.2, an unauthenticated HTTP server exposed by Podman Desktop allows any network attacker to remotely trigger denial-of-service conditions and extract sensitive information. By abusing missing connection limits and timeouts, an attacker can exhaust file descriptors and kernel memory, leading to application crash or full host freeze. Additionally, verbose error responses disclose internal paths and system details (including usernames on Windows), aiding further exploitation. The issue requires no authentication or user interaction and is exploitable over the network. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.26.2.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated network access to Podman Desktop's HTTP server enables remote denial-of-service attacks and information disclosure via verbose error messages. Attackers can exhaust file descriptors and kernel memory without authentication, causing application crashes or complete host freezes, while error responses leak internal paths and Windows usernames. …
